Ever since school began, I basically have been stuck in my room, unable to go outside and enjoy the weather since I have many classes during the day, and assignment deadlines that fall just after sunset. I feel trapped even though I still have the ability to go outside, so the panes in my window almost feel like prison bars that frame the beauty of the outdoors that I’m missing most days.

It is the first time we come back to nyc since our last visit on March 2020… When we visited then I was the only soul wearing a mask in Nyc… now a lot of people use it. We are happy to be able to go out and enjoy a trip like this. Our daughter is staying in NYC for a month, and sharing an apartment w 3 girls… one came back yesterday from a trip to Miami and very soon she reported she tested positive… so mi daughter went to get tested, thank god she is negative and she began using a mask as if it was a part of her body, she wears it constantly. Mi brother who lives in Colombia w his wife and 3 adult sons has lived trough a very difficult week… A. tested positive, he passed it to P., and finally M. got it… so 3 out of 5 relatives got infected…after months and months of confinement. Such a difficult time in Colombia simply because the vaccines are so slowly being offered to the general public. I regret I dis not invite the family to come over to get vaccinated.
